Adventures of a new laptop
So had to go buy a new laptop, wanted to wait till next month but my ole laptop was starting to act funny and overheat, it is 4 years old.
So without needing a fancy laptop went to walmart, picked up a 17.3 inch that was on sale, 6gb memory, 500gb hard drive.
Get home turn it on and what do you know, it don't work!:mad: The manufacturer did not install the operating system on that particular laptop!:o
Like are you fucking kidding me, go back to walmart and exchange it for another one and so far it works.
Just trying to get use to windows 7 and the options and such, get poker sites downloaded and poker software downloaded and all the other crap I had on my ole laptop.
Fun fun fun! NOT.:D
P.M.'d my bap peeps as I may reorganize a new bap once I get everything set up and use to the laptop.
Edit:
Have a laptop cooling pad, the usb cord just caught on fire:o.

where was the cooling pad purchased?
I'll take a stab and others can amplify. I haven't used one but almost did. One of my old Dells from work had the overheating symptom and a cooling pad can relieve it. I think overheating will manifest eventually even on brand laptops, unless they suffer a different fate after a particularly bad online downswing or unless perhaps its a high end rig like Alienware.
cooling pads vary in price from around $20 and up. they can plug into your USB ports and run extra fans to cool your laptop. you just kind of sit your laptop on top of them. i definitely recommend ones that are softer on the bottom if you're going to be having your laptop literally on your lap (because hard plastic ones are not comfortable).

But I don't have a bunch of stuff installed on here like my DJ stuff.
Don't like the mouse pad but I have a seperate mouse so no big deal.
Resolution is 1600x900 windows 7, will this have a impact on playing poker in anyway?
Not likely......

Don't ask what speakers they are, I have no clue:wink2:.
Tested out stars and table ninja, so far so good.
Have both hm1 and hm2 downloaded, I don't think I will try and move database onto this laptop ( not now anyway), it looks too confusing and too much work, so a fresh start I guess.
